PARTY PIECE

If you feel like getting a new record and the usual run of song, swing and lullaby palis, may I re- commend either of these two, for no better reason than they have the party mood?

1. Florence Desmond pretending she's a whole concert party rehear- sing for the troops (H.M.V.).

Draw a square, divide it into Ave, top to bottom and from side to SIDE. Twenty-five small squares. Now, in turo, coll a letter each. Father calls "A," hoping, perhaps, to get "ACTOR" Everybody puis In "A" anywhere,

Junior calls "B," hoping to get **BALMY." Everybody puls in "B"-anywhere. Everybody tries to build up complete five-letter words in all squares, but of course they can't. Father may get safely to "ACTO" and then be forced to put in o "Z." Maddening

SCORING: Complete five-letter words count Avo; four-letter words count three; three-letter words count two. Two-letter words don't count.
